    I was concerned with the use of 22kt gold as, to its softness; only to be instantly put at ease--by --the use of 18kt ,for the parts requiring more strength. A truly, breathtaking timepiece, that can be worn, with humility: utterly beautiful. Such a piece makes me feel: the soul of creativity is far from extinguished .

      @scottcrawford3745 Před 5 lety +2

      Moonphases are usually a dual sided wheel, the most common moonphase display system is based on a 59-tooth driving wheel. This system requires a manual correction roughly once every two-and-a-half years., although some manufacturers are striving for more accuracy. not exactly sure on the F P Journe, but as it's a very modern manufacturer, I'd guess better accuracy than that. A 135 tooth wheel is good for 122 years.

    Man, what a beauty! It might replace the Datograph (at a third of the price) as my divorce-causing watch.

    Gorgeous watch, with such an individual design, with engineering to match!

    How do those who bemoan the slightest deviations from design convention reconcile the asymmetry of the FP Journe dial - or do they? If they think the addition of a simple date window at 3 o'clock ruins the symmetry of a dial, they must think the FPJ is a hot mess.
